Let (Xn) be a sequence of integrable real random variables, adapted to a filtration (Gn). Define: Cn = n^(1/2) {1/n SUM(k=1:n) Xk - E(Xn+1 | Gn) } and Dn = n^(1/2){ E(Xn+1 | Gn)-Z } where Z is the a.s. limit of E(Xn+1 | Gn) (assumed to exist). Conditions for (Cn,Dn) -- N(0,U) × N(0,V) stably...

An urn contains balls of d = 2 colors. At each time n = 1, a ball is drawn and then replaced together with a random number of balls of the same color. Let An =diag (An,1, . . . ,An,d) be the n-th reinforce matrix. Assuming EAn,j = EAn,1 for all n and j, a few CLT’s are available for such urns....

Empirical processes for non ergodic data are investigated under uniform distance. Some CLTs, both uniform and non uniform, are proved. In particular, conditions for Bn = n^(1/2) (µn - bn) and Cn = n^(1/2) (µn - an) to converge in distribution are given, where µn is the empirical measure, an...

Let L be a linear space of real bounded random variables on the probability space (omega,A, P0). There is a finitely additive probability P on A, such that P tilde P0 and EP (X) = 0 for all X in L, if and only if cEQ(X) = ess sup(-X), X in L, for some constant c 0 and (countably additive)...

Let (µn : n = 0) be Borel probabilities on a metric space S such that µn - µ0 weakly. Say that Skorohod representation holds if, on some probability space, there are S-valued random variables Xn satisfying Xn - µn for all n and Xn - X0 in probability. By Skorohod’s theorem, Skorohod...

Let S be a Polish space and (Xn : n = 1) an exchangeable sequence of S-valued random variables. Let an(·) = P( Xn+1 in · | X1, . . . ,Xn) be the predictive measure and a a random probability measure on S such that an (weak) -- a a.s.. Two (related) problems are addressed. One is to give...

Let µn be a probability measure on the Borel sigma-field on D[0, 1] with respect to Skorohod distance, n = 0. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the following statement are provided. On some probability space, there are D[0, 1]-valued random variables Xn such that Xn tilde µn for all n =...

Let (omega,F,P) be a probability space. For each G in F, define G as the s-field generated by G and those sets f in F satisfying P(f) in {0, 1}. Conditions for P to be atomic on the intersection of the complements of Ai for i=1,..,k, with A1, . . . ,Ak in F sub-s-fields, are given. Conditions...
